Three apps, three weeks, and almost a hundred matches. At 50, I’m finding that mutual interest rarely gets as far as a conversation.

A conversation about past relationships turned into an argument about sexual history. Now neither of us has sent the next message.

After seven years together, I finally told my fiancée what I’d been missing. Now the thought of leaving brings a relief I don’t know how to ignore.

We agreed on a small wedding. Then my fiancé changed the date, guests and reception before telling me—because he knew I would object.

After she turned down a date, I asked for distance. A month later, we still share a classroom, and I miss the conversations I ended.

I’m thinking of asking out my university crush. Rejection scares me, but my friends have made a reluctant yes sound worrying too.

At 28, I thought I knew my type. Then an attentive dinner with an older man changed who caught my eye.
